I don't own a "clean-looking rig".

i like spoke cards because they add something personal to your bike.... then again i have way too many spoke cards/personal touches on my bike so what can i say....

i think they are fun!

and suprsingly, i have never had any of my spoke cards stolen... yet. knock on wood. maybe because they are so tacky and childish.

I think the cards all spoke for themselves. Didn't they?

BTW, considering I have pink and purple and white star-shaped reflectors on my front spokes, I don't think a few spoke cards in the back are really going to make my bike look less spartan.
